My name is Chen Ping, nicknamed “King Yama's Roll Call.” I'm the entertainment industry's famous disaster magnet with the luck of a koi fish.
After my company trapped me in a deadly variety show, Extreme Survival, with a predatory contract, I was dropped in the middle of the Sahara on the very first day.
While everyone else scrambled to survive, I livestreamed sales for King Yama: “Folks, look at this sandstorm. All-natural, pollution-free. Whoever it buries will rest easy!”
The whole internet is betting I won't last three hours. I pull out my thermos, steep some goji berries, and teach survival tips for the desert live.
The production crew is losing it. “This is a serious survival show, not your comedy livestream!”
I grin. “Well, King Yama just sent a tip and said he'd pay to keep me alive for another hour...”
The audience is in stitches. “Holy crap, this clown has even left the Grim Reaper speechless!”
